Popis: Somatic cell count (SCC) cure reflects both bacteriological cure and resolution of tissue inflammation. Farmers receive premiums and penalties related to the sale of somatic cells in fluid milk, thus SCC cure has some advantages over other monitors of treatment success or failure. Although pathogen specific patterns of SCC change during clinical mastitis have been well described (de Haas et al, 2002), use of SCC cure in commercial herds has been poorly documented. The objective of this paper was to report on the use of a method to assess clinical mastitis cure using SCC in monthly tested Dairy Herd Improvement Association (DHIA) recorded dairy herds with records of clinical mastitis events.
